ok i was so aggravated after the game i ran home from the bar to post this but thought better and decided to wait a while to simmer down to see if my conclusion had changed
it hasnt
i like edwards. hes been incredibly impressive as a rookie and i would expect him to develop much faster than an average young qb. i think he has some great skills that should serve the team well and make him end up being a potentially good option at qb
one of those skills clearly isnt throwing a tight ball in bad weather
who knows if it was the gloves or his arm strength or his lack of practice or whatever, but the bottom line is far too often it looked like he was throwing a bag of marbles out there
i have to admit at this point im quite concerned about his ability to compete when conditions deteriorate. there will be plenty of times where wind is going to be a factor and based on what we saw today im not sure he can throw the ball with a tight enough spiral to avoid repeat performances whenever the weather turns bad
even the porous browns rushing defense was able to contain the monsters because they didnt have to worry about being beaten either deep or to the sides. you could tell by their formations, they just bunched everybody in a semi-circle around the center and dared edwards to try to pass over that dome. he couldnt and consequently the bills couldnt move the ball
this could end up being a big problem for the bills. edwards looks to me like hes going to quickly develop into a chad pennington type qb - outstanding field presence, great poise, ability to manage the offense and move the chains. but penningtons achilles heel is he cant force the defense to defend the entire field and he struggles in bad weather. he will win a bunch of games for you on pure smarts and poise and lose others throwing picks on deep outs that run out of gas and balls that flutter
sigh
i just have one question:
is it too late to put a dome on the ralph?

Meathead
this thread, like most of the ones around here lately, is a complete joke, with complete morons posting in it.
